Ringing Forums

That's wonderful - very much appreciated!

Thanks for this - very helpful and much appreciated.

Thanks Gareth, that's fascinating. Do you happen to have a source for the newspaper report?

Thanks very much @John de Overa and @A J Barnfield, this is really helpful. Much appreciated.

Thanks for this. Interestingly, the figures given by Prof Hart in this lecture are lower than those in Grove's Dictionary and the gap becomes exponentially larger as the number of bells increases.

This, I presume, is simply due to a difference in the estimated time taken to ring each row. Hart's table is based on 2 seconds per row, Grove doesn't provide any figure.

Do you have any thoughts on this? I'm comparing 19th and 21st century estimations here - it is simply a case of different estimations or could ringing have occurred more slowly in the past (assuming that pace/rhythm isn't dictated by the bells themselves)? Apologies if this is a stupid question!
